    While the Cybertruck is a screaming gold color, it’s for a reason. It’s a billboard for the medical spa the Syrian immigrant said he worked hard to build from the ground up three years ago.

      “Look, it’s an ugly gold Cybertruck! Clearly I must go to this medical spa that I don’t know the name of or that it exists at all!”

      Oh, so it’s even more offensive because it’s a goddamn advertisement?

      Edit: and a fucking tax dodge, to boot!

      It’s just digging this entitled fuckwad’s hole even deeper.

      There’s no billboard on the car in the article. There’s likely a small sticker somewhere. This is a common practice by business owners so they can file their personal vehicle as a business expense and dodge some of their tax liability. Frankly it’s a pretty shitty practice.

        The billboard is on the back, complete with QR code. LOL.

        It’s common to buy whatever the new eye catching vehicle is and wrap it for a business, we saw it when the new VW Bug was introduced, and again with the PT Cruiser, but for a cybertruck, he should have looked at WHY it was eyecatching… like a fish hook.
